The People's Republic of New Kisha is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Valère-Klemens Perrault with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, conspicuous electricity pylons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.713 billion Kishans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Kisha. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kishan economy, worth 808 trillion Aurons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 171,616 Aurons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, businesses are required to round down their profits, Valère-Klemens Perrault's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Kisha's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

New Kisha is ranked 3,873^rd in the world and 165^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 96.16 on the Human Development Index.
